For a film that no longer exists in its original state. Each reconstruction has its own copyright - 1979, 1981, 2000…So 2051. That's a ways off
As to the 1928 M-G-M version, as far as we know, it no longer survives. The M-G-M dupe negative was a combination of M-G-M main and end titles, about 20% original footage, plus material from trims, the silent UK versions and others.
We have reconstructed it, basked upon the original continuity for study purposes, but it’s not a good film.
As to Our Town, the OCN survives but cannot be accessed.
